In the translation of Chengguan, Yicheng brought dinner with a few post guards. As soon as www.biquge.info heard Zhu Tingxu's words at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he put down the meal and sent away his subordinates, but he poured the wine diligently and didn't leave.

Wang Xun knew that this Yicheng wanted to know about the Northern Expedition, he thought about it carefully, and said in his heart that there was really nothing secret about this matter, so he beckoned Yicheng to stay with him: "There is Lao Huang Yicheng who has brought food, I think it is better to have a meal together." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Huang Yicheng sat down happily.

At this time, I heard Zhu Tingxu smile and summarize the results of the first day of the auction: "Today's auction is really unexpectedly smooth." Originally, the industry thought that it would be good if Fan Yongdou's family wealth could be sold half of it today. Unexpectedly, it was the first time that all the auction items that had been prepared were auctioned, and in the end, the second day was also taken out. At the moment, I am afraid that this auction can end early. Particularly critical ......"

Tian Yingqi paused, chuckled, but it whetted everyone's appetite.

Wang Xun arched his hand and said, "Lord County, don't make fun of me waiting." I and a few others listened to this, but they were all itching. ”

"Haha, but it's not just a joke, it's actually that I can't help but be amazed when I hear this number. Originally, the assets with a total valuation of 390,000 taels in the first round were sold to 530,000 taels. It's really, it's really ...... Unbelievable. Zhu Tingxu recalled it and still couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

When Wang Xun heard this, he smiled and said: "I have heard a little about the reason why those big families are big. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Tingxu was curious.

On the side, Tian Yingqi sneered, but it was very expected.

"I was in the Privy Secretariat, and I was looking through some confidential documents. Among them, there is a survey that is very interesting. Wang Xun said.

"Listen to the high opinions." Zhu Tingxu bowed.

"Well, that's too polite." Wang Xun said, and told the investigation.

The Ming Dynasty consumes a lot of military spending every year, and there are many drawbacks in the previous use of the nine sides. After Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, the Privy Council was also very concerned about this. Last year, for example, the imperial court issued a total of at least 23 million taels of military spending. Three major wars in a row, stretching the entire northern country, from Korea to Zhendingfu, and finally ending in Zunhua, countless wars, military expenditures are huge, and the rewards given to the soldiers alone are as high as seven million taels, not counting the part that is sent in kind.

According to past precedents, it is basically that after the horses are released in Nanshan, the soldiers will return to their hometowns to buy land.

In the time of Zhu Cihong, the situation was slightly different. If many soldiers are still in the army, they will naturally send them home to support their parents, wives and children. But if you go home after being discharged from the army, whether you are disabled or too old, there are very few people who choose to buy land directly and become landlords.

Zhu Cihong's army was highly disciplined and had many constraints. But there was a constraint that the soldiers were willing to accept. This is the requirement for the soldiers to read and write. In the army, Mr. is regularly asked to teach literacy, and every soldier who has been a soldier for one year can basically recognize 300 commonly used words.

I know how to read, and I have been killing all over the world, and I have seen a lot, and I am not willing to go home to be a villager for the rest of my life.

In addition, Hengxin Commercial Bank and various government offices of the imperial court can be assigned as officials, such as police stations in various parts of the Beijing Division, which give soldiers many choices when they retire from the army.

An An is a police officer or something, needless to mention, those who follow Hengxin Commercial Bank to do things, but many people who made a fortune later, relying on the skills learned by Hengxin Commercial Bank, after resigning, there is a retirement pension as the initial capital, as long as they do business seriously, there is almost no business.

Even those who returned to their hometowns to become rich men, many of them also started workshops, and they all made a fortune.

"Therefore, this auction is so lively, in fact, it is thanks to the old brothers who have come back to cheer. Our brothers, after leaving the army, are doing well. Wang Xun sighed with emotion.

Tian Yingqi chuckled: "I didn't expect that Wang Junshi could also notice this." ”

Zhu Tingxu suddenly understood, and he understood when he looked at Tian Yingqi's expression. This one was one of the first to follow this new army, although it was still only working in a place like a military hospital at that time.

"No matter what, in seven days at most, Jiexiu Fan Yongdou's family wealth can also be auctioned off. This time, you can breathe a sigh of relief. If I only rely on a few slogans, I really don't have the confidence to organize the logistics preparations for this time. Zhu Tingxu said slowly.

As a clan, Zhu Tingxu still has some aura on his body. After dealing with Fan Yongdou's affairs this time, he will leave the government affairs here to the original county chief, that is, the police chief Cai Heyu. And he will also be transferred to Taiyuan because of this excellent performance, responsible for the logistics of Shanxi Road, and serve as the Shanxi Military Preparation Road.

"Haha, this time, I have to congratulate Zhu County on his honor." Wang Xun said with a smile.

"Wherever it is, it's a brick of the Ming Dynasty, and where there is a need, you can move it." Zhu Tingxu became playful.

There was another round of laughter in the room.

With enough silver, everyone is indeed much more confident about this Northern Expedition.

On February 1, 277 of the Ming Dynasty, under the personal escort of Shi Dangdang, Hengxin Auction House and Zhu Tingxu's huge convoy began to go north.

This time, they escorted all the money from the auction in Jiexiu County to Taiyuan.

Although a total of 2.3 million yuan here is just treasure money, who in Shanxi doesn't know that treasure money is real money? The old-style treasure banknotes are due to the fact that many treasure banknotes are incomplete and the exchange rate is extremely low, and some people can disagree with it. But for the new banknotes that are so well-made that they are extremely difficult to counterfeit, everyone knows that these are real money that can be circulated like gold leaves.

Three groups of people who were originally different from each other gathered together, and naturally there was a lot more trouble. But for the Wu family sisters and brothers who kept up with the team, it was an unspeakable surprise.

Wu Qiao'er was secretly happy to be able to see Wang Xun in her heart, but Wu Wanying was more direct, she gathered into the ranks of the army every day, rode an old horse, learned riding skills with difficulty, and kept asking Wu Wanying what she had seen in the army.

The men each have a passion in their chests, and they have the ambition of the golden iron horse. In the past, Wu Wanying only heard that the Ming officials and troops were unbearable, and they were as soft as duck. But since he had this Imperial Royal Army, which was born out of the Royal Guard Legion, he suddenly seemed to see a new continent, he was extremely curious, and he regained his former manly military dream.

"You hang around me every day, and you don't care about your sister anymore?" Wang Xun quipped.

Wu Wanying's eyes rolled, but he said, "If Wang Junshi is worried, then it is better to go to our side." There is Wang Junshi watching, which Xiaoxiao dares to disturb? ”

"Haha, you little ghost. Forget it, where did Fang just tell you? Oh, the way to win a hundred battles in the army? Wang Xun didn't take this stubble, although he thought of the pretty beauty in his heart, but as a soldier, he had his own responsibilities, and he didn't dare to neglect to leave his post without permission.

"Yes, yes, this is it!" Wu Wanying nodded again and again, her eyes containing eagerness.

Even when the rest of the people heard this, they pricked up their ears one after another.

"You little devil, you are also contaminated with those sour talents. Do you really think you can talk about war on paper? Do you think that those of us who are military advisors are just a blank sheet of paper, and we can win a thousand miles with a blind stroke? It's not that simple. This method of winning a hundred battles is absolutely unavailable. Unless the war is finally over, we will never know what the odds are. What we can do is to try to do the best in calculations and preparations, to minimize errors and mistakes, and to try to improve the smallest things that contribute to victory. For example, the core of this: logistics. Daming is going to war, and it's not a secret at all. From the time Ni Xianggong wrote an article in the Beijing Times, this point is a public declaration. Wang Xun said slowly.

"And logistics, is to let the empire produce the most military resources, and then transfer these military materials to where the army needs them. If you can one day do the logistics work competently, you can become a qualified officer. After Wang Xun finished speaking, he continued to hold back.

In his opinion, speaking of which, basically this curious young man should also pour cold water over and contain those eager thoughts.

After all, although the work of logistics seems to be lucrative, it is definitely disdainful of these chores for aspiring young people. Here, I can't see the pride of those Jin Ge Iron Horses, and I can't understand the kind of full force that is thousands of miles away.

Sure enough, after Wang Xun finished speaking, Wu Wanying pursed her lips and stopped talking.

After being silent all the way for a while, Wu Wanying left.

Seeing this, Wang Xun was also happy to be quiet and continued to hurry. In a moment, he will be at the next station, and it will be a trouble to arrange the dispatch of thousands of people by then, and he will have to cheer up.

It's just that when I arrived at the post station of the next masterpiece Qiushan Station, I saw Wu Wanying appear by Zhu Tingxu's side.

You must know that Zhu Tingxu happened to be the chief officer in charge of logistics this time.

I don't know what Wu Wanying said, but half a day later, Wu Wanying carried a small medicine box and followed Yang Chongben, the medical officer who was requisitioned this time, as an assistant.

This time, the logistics were organized, and medical officers, outstanding craftsmen, and reserve officers and soldiers recruited from all over Shanxi were recruited during the period when Cai Heyu served as the chief of the police station.

The reservists were assigned to the baggage battalion, and the medical officers and craftsmen were also necessary for the logistical preparation of this time. The purpose of recruiting craftsmen is to manufacture and repair military equipment. Medical officers correspond to medical and health personnel who are still in short supply throughout the army.

Compared with the former, the latter is obviously more suitable for Wu Wanying. This official eunuch's education level is not low, and it is rare that he is still a primary school bully, and his learning ability is very strong. When Wang Xun arrived in Taiyuan seven days later, he had already seen Wu Wanying begin to look in the military hospital, and many people followed Wu Wanying's side to ask questions, as if they had become the first to hear the Tao.

Wang Xun stood in the distance and watched for a while, and quietly remembered the name of this young man. It's just that when he turned around, he suddenly found a woman with a pretty face and hidden worry looking at the military hospital in a daze, even if Wang Xun approached, he didn't notice it.

"The army is a furnace, a good piece of iron, and it will definitely be able to make a hundred steels. Miss Wu, don't worry. Wang Xun said with relief.

"Ah, it's Wang...... Wang Junshi? Wu Qiao'er was shocked.

Wang Xun smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly the assembly horn sounded in the army, and he suddenly didn't care about Wu Qiao'er to speak, confessed, and hurriedly returned to the barracks.

Ni Yuanlu arrived in Taiyuan.

His arrival means that the rallying cry of the war has sounded.

"This is a war to regain lost land and regain our mountains and rivers! Soldiers, when I set foot on the land of Taiyuan City, I have already decided. I will always be with you on this one. After the incident, I have written it in this envelope as a suicide note, and I will send it to my hometown in Shaoxing after the war. If I don't return to my mountains and rivers, I Ni Yuanlu will never return to Beijing alive! ”

"Restore my mountains and rivers!"

"Restore my mountains and rivers!"

"Restore my mountains and rivers!"

……

At the large venue of the Taiyuan headquarters, Wang Xun watched Ni Yuanlu speak quietly, his chest seemed to explode, and a surging hot current swept through his body, exploding in every corner of his chest, making him surging and unable to control himself: "It is really an honor in my life to fight with such a group of like-minded people!" ”

Thinking of this, Wang Xun shouted: "Restore my mountains and rivers!" ”

Three days later, in the north of the city, Wu Wanying appeared on the advance team that set off to Datong. He slowly opened the letter in his arms, full of thoughts.

Just two months ago, he was still a down-and-out official in a devil's cave. And now, he has gone to the army so resolutely, becoming a soldier who never dared to think of before.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel the wonder of fate.

He is worthy of this choice, but he misses his sister a little. That's the only relative in his world.

It's just that now he is about to embark on his own life journey, but he can't take care of his sister.

Thinking like this, he opened the letter left by Wu Qiao'er to him.

"Brother Ying'er, when you received the letter, I'm afraid you had already set off for the front line. Sister, everything is fine, but I miss you. I wanted to ask Master Wang to transfer you out, but I knew that you were a character who did not change your mind, so I thought about it in every possible way, so I just did. I just hope you're safe, so don't let my sister worry too much. My sister is going to Jingshi, and the shopkeeper appreciates me, and he recommends my sister to study in a university hall in Beijing, and I heard that it is a place like Guozijian......"

"^ As soon as this battle begins, I am afraid that life and death will be out of my own hands, and my sister does not ask you for fame and fortune, but only hopes that your body is harmless. Seeing the letter is like seeing me, my sister is waiting for you in Jingshi......" Wu Wanying's eyes slowly moistened, he wiped his eyes suddenly, and carefully collected the letter in his arms. After thinking about it, he unwrapped his clothes again and wrapped the letter in a close-fitting silk robe.

There was a letter on his chest, and Wu Wanying felt that it was like a fire, and like the strongest armor, protecting his softest place. (To be continued.) )
